Anthony Edwards, a reserve for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, has indicated he might not participate due to a significant number of injuries. His status for the event remains uncertain as the NBA heads into its All-Star break.

In other team news, the Timberwolves recently facilitated a trade involving Mike Conley to the Chicago Bulls, who then sent him to the Charlotte Hornets. This transaction allowed Minnesota to free up salary cap space, potentially enabling Conley's return.
